California lemon law is pretty clear. If the car is at the dealer a total of 30 days (doesn’t have to be consecutive) for the same issue or a fix has been attempted for the same problem “a reasonable” amount of times, you may be eligible for a lemon law case.
It’s always recommended to consult with a lemon law attorney if you believe you have a case.
You don’t have a lemon law case until you meet the statutory requirements laid out here:
One thing you want to be careful of is (Bolding mine)
Unless the buyer agrees in writing to the contrary, the goods shall be serviced or repaired so as to conform to the applicable warranties within 30 days.
Do not allow the dealer to argue you consented to extension of the repair window beyond 30 days, as that’s the clearer path to eligibility vs. the more subjective reasonableness test.

They’re replacing my compressor as well. The AC on mine worked fine, but it caused significant vibration and noise inside the vehicle, which they said was not normal. I don’t care because I got another EQS as a loaner so I’m saving on my mileage allowance.
So far we have stories of
A) 12 v sensor and or battery management circuits failing
B) HV Battery failing due to impact with a road hazard
C) Front motor failing
D) AC compressor failing
E) multiple recalls for propulsion systems
Is there any part in this car that’s not gonna fail prematurely? The windshield wipers perhaps?
The dealer confirmed they are all season extended range…so I don’t have to get different tires like I thought I would.
this happens to me – car starts shaking violently lol – I have to turn off and restart lol
Might not be the same issue. For me, restarting wouldn’t help. But get it checked out.
I was cleaning the tires today and realized my 22’’ Pirelli PZ4 are NOT run flats. There is no indication on the sidewall and these look like regular PZ4 Sports, with MOS (Mersedes original silent). I have a compressor and foam in the trunk.
So, for lease return - could I just buy cheapest lionheats with the same 102H rating and call it a day?
You should be as long as the meet the original specs. But as you’re seeing there really is no cheap option, I’m planning on just buying used.
It looks like there is not one unified tire thats being used, I’m mostly seeing Goodyear and Pirelli.
I have wondered why automatic adjustable tire pressure doesn’t connect to adjustable drive modes.
Which EQS do you have? I had the first three done a couple of weeks ago. Was just told that the last one doesn’t apply to my vin. At least, not yet… I have a 2022 450+ sedan.
@David_Anthony how exactly do in shop days count? Meaning, if I dropped the car off on the 11th and picked up on the 19 the, it’s 9 days, right? If that’s the case, then I’m almost 1/3 of the lemon juicer full .
It’s a 2022 450+ Sedan (RWD)
Same as mine, so that last update must be vin specific.
I’ve been waiting for a company to push back against a lemon law claim with a pure EV that is so heavily dependent on computers. Remember it has to be 30 days for the same issue.
If this really becomes a problem MB can go two ways on this, fix it or fight it.
It would be super easy for them to identify a specific operation process or control and call that the problem, thus making it very easy to change whats wrong each time. I doubt that MB would go that route but it is a possibility.
The BMS recall is new, released just yesterday.
My 2022 EQS 450+ sedan was originally on the list for the drivetrain software recall, but was removed from the list on the website. The dealer did the update anyway.
Yeah I got the notice about that the other day.
I scheduled this service Appt about a month ago (as I was out of the country)
When I walked in this morning, I just told him to make sure every recall to be done.
Also ask them to make sure you are on the latest MBUX software version.
Edit: looking at a MB forum it appears there’s also an instrument cluster display update separate from the main MBUX update. Why aren’t these all OTA?
Before or after lunch??? 
Which dealer did it for you? Calabasas doesn’t seem interested.
FJ Mercedes in Newport Beach.
